Our verdict

A minty, gentle facial scrub for oily and acne prone skin that clears pores and leaves skin refreshed. Grainy texture may be too much for very sensitive skin.

Overview

A bathroom sink routine for oily skin gets a cooling mint scrub that clears pores and dead skin. Queen Helene Gentle Scrub in Mint Julep is a physical exfoliant for oily and acne prone complexions.

Pore cleaning with a refreshing mint feel suits oily skin that looks dull. The formula is cruelty free with no synthetic fragrances. Dry or reactive skin may find a grainy scrub too rough.

Who it's for

Oily, acne prone faces that feel clogged benefit from a gentle physical scrub. Skin that reddens easily should use a non abrasive cleanser.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Clears pores and oil
  • Refreshing mint feel
  • No synthetic fragrances
  • Long running heritage formula
Cons
  • Grainy for sensitive skin
  • Not a medicated acne treatment
  • Ingredient list not given

Performance notes

Grains lift dead skin and oil as you massage, so pressure and time set the strength. Mint adds a cooling feel but does not treat acne itself. Rinsing well prevents residue in pores.
